The general director of the Euroleague, Paulius Motiejunas, explained this Friday that playing matches at the Palau Sant Jordi remains an option that Barça has on the table to comply with the capacity regulations required by the European competition.
In a telematic press conference held this Friday, Motiejunas confirmed that there are negotiations between the Euroleague and the Barca club To find a solution to the moratorium of playing in a pavilion with a minimum capacity of 10,000 spectators that still allows the Catalan team to play their European matches in the Palau Blaugrana.
“There is the option that matches can be played at the Palau Sant Jordi, which is managed by the City Council, So it is something that you also have to deal with with them. We are trying to leave behind the exemption we are in. And, hopefully, as soon as possible, the better, “Motiejunas said.
In this sense, the top leader of the Euroleague admitted that the Palau Sant Jordi, owned by the Barcelona City Council, It is an alternative for the Barca entity as long as a new pavilion is not built.
Barça has not yet set a date for the start of the works of the new sports center, something that the Euroleague leader has said that he understands, since “the priority of the club” is to finish the works of the Spotify Camp Nou.
